🚨 RBA RATE DECISION IS IN! Here’s what it means for your home loan...
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) has officially decided to keep the official cash rate on HOLD at 4.35% at today’s August 2026 meeting.
What does a rate hold mean for you?
🔹 For Homeowners: Your variable rate repayments remain unchanged for now. However, banks review their interest rates regularly, so it’s a great time to ensure your current rate is still competitive.
🔹 For Buyers: Borrowing capacities remain steady, giving you a clear baseline as you search for your dream home or next investment.
🔹 For Refinancers: Lenders are actively competing for quality borrowers with cashback offers and discounted variable rates—you don't have to wait for an RBA cut to save.
At Simplified Mortgages, we believe you shouldn't pay a cent more than you need to on your home loan.
